If you’re a fan of historic buildings then perhaps The Cooperage, on Grimsby’s East Street, might appeal although it does come with a hefty price tag and it's a Listed building.

This three storey listed building has not just a wealth of history but plenty of architectural character with 12,700sq ft of space. It does need a substantial amount of TLC though - as there are no internal stair cases to the upper parts.

Part of the adjoining lean-to on the ground floor is derelict, so anyone wishing to view would have to sign and any parties wishing to view will be required to sign an appropriate declaration to state that they do so at their own risk.

The building comprises a main store, former chill storage area, plant room, main store, second floor, third floor and outside yard/car park area.

History

The former Hewitt brothers Tower Brewery, built in 1901, was in business until 1968.

It was used for storage and as a distribution depot until 1980. In the 1990s, Bateman’s Brewery was interested in using the site as a pub. In November 2000, an application for consent to demolish the building was rejected by planning officers who said: “the building makes a positive contribution to the character of the area”, adding that an alternative use was not put forward.

The cooperage and beer store, built in 1901 to the former Tower Brewery of 1900 and 1913, contained an earlier stables and cooperage.

The Hewitt brothers used it to make barrels and produced the beer for the Grimsby area for almost 100 years from their base in Pasture Street, which occupied both sides of Pasture Street; with the brewery on one side of the street and a bottling plant on the other.

By the end of its independent existence in 1962 it was a major regional brewer. Hewitt’s had brewed ale in the town for 160 years. In 1967 they brewed 100,000 barrels of it, but in April 1968 they brewed their last. After becoming part of the United Breweries group and subsequently the Bass Charrington empire, it ceased brewing in April 1968.

It is the only surviving remnant of Grimsby’s past brewing heritage.

This property is available on a freehold or leasehold basis - perfect for redevelopment, subject to appropriate consents and approvals.
